texas had a top-10 system. the top 10 graduates of high schools around the state were automatically admitted to austin. they had a good amount of diversity through that system. in addition to that, texas started using race as an emissions factor. the challenge is really to the extra use of race. the court could say as long as you have got diversity through this one system, you cannot go beyond to consider race. that would be essentially limited to texas. on the other hand, they could say more broadly that any use of race is unconstitutional, and we disavow what was said in the michigan case. that would be a big deal that would affect universities all around the country. >> it is interesting how different it is around the country. california has a constitutional amendment that disallows using race in college admissions. it is interesting that this case comes from texas. it seems if there was any legislature that would rule that you could not use race in university admissions, it would be the texas legislature. i
